TheTechLounge published a review of the ATI HD 2400 XT 256MB Video Card. This is a basic graphics card without the hip 3D gaming functionality.

Quote from the review: "It's hard to believe, but there are actually many people who don't want the trappings, and cost, of gaming hardware. Integrated graphics aren't always an option and, when they are, they use precious system resources that, for only a little extra cash, can be un-tethered.
Which is exactly what an entry-level video card is supposed to do.
They're not intended to play video games, and their 3D processing capacity is misleading. Good enough doesn't mean gaming; it's about low power consumption and decent features. So, for those of you looking for "good enough," is this vanilla HD 2400 XT it? Or does it come up short where it counts?"
